AVAILABILITY OF PRESENTATIONS FOLLOWING THE CONFERENCE

Presentations (live and pre-recorded) will be made available to registered delegates for viewing in the NAHC Online Portal following your presentation for three months unless you advise otherwise. Any additional files authors choose to share, as well as live Q & A/panel discussions will also be available to view during and after the presentation. Access to the Portal will be password protected and limited to conference registrants.

COPYRIGHT

If presentations are to be used or published in any other format or forum, your specific consent will be requested. Please ensure you have permission to use any images, music or content within your presentation. If you do not have copyright permission, your presentation will not be able to be used or published. Do not include any images copied from the internet. Getty Images and other image agencies crawl the internet looking for images that have been copied without the appropriate licences.

COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP

Consenting to have your presentation available in the portal or used in an alternative publication will not affect your ownership rights. The conference committee, or Conference Design will not acquire the ownership rights of your presentation should you agree for it to be included or used.

WILL PEOPLE BE ABLE TO RECORD OR DOWNLOAD MY PRESENTATION?

During the registration process, delegates must acknowledge and agree to the virtual conference Terms & Conditions, which include strict rules around unauthorised photography and recording of convention material. While these measures can be taken, we cannot enforce this rule in an online environment. The assumption should be made that participants may indeed take unauthorised photographs, screenshots, audio, or video recordings, therefore you may wish to adjust the content of your presentation accordingly.
